Additional Information
At the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), we believe that a better understanding of the basics of addiction will empower individuals to make informed choices in their own lives, support science-based policies and programs that reduce drug use and addiction in their communities, and promote scientific research that improves the Nation’s well-being.
